Simatic PCS 7 Version 6 provides a common, single interface for configuration of human-machine interface (HMI), control, historian, batch and fieldbus aspects of a process control device.

Among other enhancements, Simatic PCS 7 Version 6 also adds flexibility by allowing online system modifications for its I/O, controller, HMI, batch and historian components.
